你可以选择下面的UIView扩展来获得它(credit by Daniel):

extension UIView {
    var firstResponder: UIView? {
        guard !isFirstResponder else { return self }
        return subviews.first(where: {$0.firstResponder != nil })
    }
}

这是我所做的，当用户单击ModalViewController中的Save/Cancel时，找到什么UITextField是第一个responder:

    NSArray *subviews = [self.tableView subviews];

for (id cell in subviews ) 
{
    if ([cell isKindOfClass:[UITableViewCell class]]) 
    {
        UITableViewCell *aCell = cell;
        NSArray *cellContentViews = [[aCell contentView] subviews];
        for (id textField in cellContentViews) 
        {
            if ([textField isKindOfClass:[UITextField class]]) 
            {
                UITextField *theTextField = textField;
                if ([theTextField isFirstResponder]) {
                    [theTextField resignFirstResponder];
                }

            }
        }

    }

}

你可以选择下面的UIView扩展来获得它(credit by Daniel):

extension UIView {
    var firstResponder: UIView? {
        guard !isFirstResponder else { return self }
        return subviews.first(where: {$0.firstResponder != nil })
    }
}

而不是遍历视图集合寻找设置了isFirstResponder的视图，我也将消息发送给nil，但我存储了消息的接收器，以便我可以返回它并对它做任何我想做的事情。

此外，我将在调用本身的deferred语句中保存找到的responder的optional归零。这确保在调用结束时没有引用保留——即使是弱引用。

import UIKit

private var _foundFirstResponder: UIResponder? = nil

extension UIResponder {

    static var first:UIResponder? {

        // Sending an action to 'nil' implicitly sends it to the first responder
        // where we simply capture it and place it in the _foundFirstResponder variable.
        // As such, the variable will contain the current first responder (if any) immediately after this line executes
        UIApplication.shared.sendAction(#selector(UIResponder.storeFirstResponder(_:)), to: nil, from: nil, for: nil)

        // The following 'defer' statement runs *after* this getter returns,
        // thus releasing any strong reference held by the variable immediately thereafter
        defer {
            _foundFirstResponder = nil
        }

        // Return the found first-responder (if any) back to the caller
        return _foundFirstResponder
    }

    // Make sure to mark this with '@objc' since it has to be reachable as a selector for `sendAction`
    @objc func storeFirstResponder(_ sender: AnyObject) {

        // Capture the recipient of this message (self), which is the first responder
        _foundFirstResponder = self
    }
}

有了上面的，我可以通过简单地这样做辞去第一响应者…

UIResponder.first?.resignFirstResponder()

但由于我的API实际上交还了第一个responder是什么，我可以对它做任何我想做的事情。

下面是一个示例，它检查当前的第一个响应器是否是一个带有helpMessage属性设置的UITextField，如果是，则在控件旁边的帮助气泡中显示它。我们通过屏幕上的“Quick Help”按钮来调用它。

func showQuickHelp(){

    if let textField = UIResponder?.first as? UITextField,
       let helpMessage = textField.helpMessage {
    
        textField.showHelpBubble(with:helpMessage)
    }
}

对上述的支持在UITextField上的扩展中定义，就像这样…

extension UITextField {
    var helpMessage:String? { ... }
    func showHelpBubble(with message:String) { ... }
}

现在要支持这个功能，我们所要做的就是决定哪些文本字段有帮助消息，UI会为我们处理其余的事情。

这是递归的一个很好的候选!不需要添加一个类别到UIView。

用法(来自你的视图控制器):

UIView *firstResponder = [self findFirstResponder:[self view]];

代码:

// This is a recursive function
- (UIView *)findFirstResponder:(UIView *)view {

    if ([view isFirstResponder]) return view; // Base case

    for (UIView *subView in [view subviews]) {
        if ([self findFirstResponder:subView]) return subView; // Recursion
    }
    return nil;
}

如果你只需要在用户点击背景区域时杀死键盘，为什么不添加一个手势识别器，并使用它来发送[[self view] enditing:YES]消息?

你可以在xib或storyboard文件中添加Tap手势识别器，并将其连接到一个动作，

看起来像这样，然后完成

- (IBAction)displayGestureForTapRecognizer:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)recognizer{
     [[self view] endEditing:YES];
}
